The truth about Lewis Hamilton and his new contract


GP Racing Podcast: The truth about Lewis Hamilton and his new contract

We’re talking to George Russell, the man who might be Lewis ‘next teammate … or Valtteri Bottas’ new teammate! And we talk to Daniel Ricciardo, the man of the moment at McLaren.

Ben Anderson, editor of GP Racing, and Mark Gallagher, columnist, join Stuart Codling to discuss what will happen next to Lewis Hamilton.

Both Hamilton’s and Mercedes have claimed they are happy with the current arrangement, which is a year extension and a plan to be at the table sooner rather than later. But are you really happy?

We also spoke to Daniel Ricciardo about this month’s edition.

The partnership between him and McLaren seems like something that has been waiting for a while.

He even bought a McLaren street car while he was still driving for Red Bull, and he describes his secret visit to the McLaren factory in the play.

There’s a lot more to this month’s GP Racing, including Mark’s superbly crafted and appropriate tribute to Murray Walker.

And because there aren’t too many pictures of old buses being converted into F1 car transporters, there’s a new multi-part story on the story of Lotus. We also have some nice close-ups of the infamous Brabham ‘Fan Car’. Remember, it was never banned!
